Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the game or
my
guide. I try to answer all serious requests for help but I will not open
any
email with an attachment. AOL sometimes considers a 'signature' or a
simple
icon as an attachment. Please send your emails as plain text or I shall
not
be able to respond. Thank you.

This is intended as a quick Reference Guide mainly for players who are
interested in 'power farming' in Harvest Moon. It shows the value of the
basic item when shipped, the same item when shipped through the Cannery
Machine and the item when elevated to 'Giant' status by upgrading the crop.

The number of days it takes to harvest each crop as well as the cost of a
bag
of seeds where applicable will be added when time permits.

With respect to the Cannery, its use is not restricted to traditional

'crops'
or even edible items. You can feed any item into the Cannery, including
ores,
gems and jewelry and you will gain 150% value. All items are shipped
automatically from the Cannery, however. Do not expect to produce
winter 'canned goods'!

A Giant crop will can randomly in a plot where you have planted more than
one
bag of seeds. A Giant Crop is a single plant, whether vegetable or
flower,
that occupies four spaces. It will look no different from an ordinary crop
until it is ripe. Then it will occupy four spaces instead of one. You
cannot
harvest a Giant Crop yourself. Instead, you will experience an event when
you
go to harvest it by pressiing 'A'. Thomas will appear and say:
Oh, hey, Freyr! That's a huge crop. A crop that large must be a lot of
work
to pull up. Want me to help you?

Your choices:
Yes, please.
No, thanks.

Thomas: All right!

Then:
Thomas: Hey! The Legendary Harvet Sprites! We'll harvest this huge crop!
First, Staid!
Staid: Ok, got it!
Next up, Nappy!
Nappy: Harvesting is fun!
Thomas: Next, Bold!
Bold: Leave the heavy work to me!
Thomas: Next up is Chef!!
Chef: Can we cook it?
Thomas: And next is, Aqua!
Aqua: Wow, this is just huge!
Thomas: And now, Hoggy!
Hoggy; I'm hungry! Thomas, send flour later!
Thomas: And last, Timid!
Timid: I'll do my best!
Thomas: Ok, every one... pull!

Heave ho!
There!
On a black screen: It pulled up neatly!
Thomas: Well, that was good! Ok, it's ready for shipping. There's no
need
to thank us. See you later!

If you decline Thomas' offer, he will be very upset and say:

Thomas: That's all right! After we were so nice! Got the message!

Without his aid, however, you will not able to harvest the crop. When you
go
to harvest the crop again, Thomas will reappear and ask you again if you
would
like some help. If you are familiar with FoMT/MFoMT and life in Mineral
Town,
you will recognise the 'Legendary Sprites' as your old Harvest Sprite crew!

The Giant Crop will be shipped directly and you never will be able to hold
it
in your hands. Giant crop values are given below. As you never have them
in
your possession, they cannot be fed into the Cannery.

Here are the items that can be grown as crops and their values. The values
that are given are for the basic Level 1 Crop. As you upgrade your crops,
their values will increase dramatically. A Level 2 Crop will ship for 4x
the
value of the basic Level 1 Crop. A Level 3 Crop will ship for 9x the value
of
the basic crop. In fact, you will make more of a profit from a 9 x 9 plot
of
Level 3 vegetables than you will if one becomes a Giant vegetable but the
Giant Crops are rather bizarre and exciting.
